this is our coming to you live from moscow with me where even josh a senior advisor to the afghan president has been assassinated by the taliban in the capital kabul one of the country's lawmakers was also killed in the attack das come less than a week after hama karzai is half brother who ran the south of the country was gunned down the taliban is stepping up its assault on afghan officials as nato combat troops begin their withdrawal from the war zone but u.s. intervention expert stephen leatherman says washington will want to keep its grip on i'm ganna stand because waging war is a looker to. if i'm a. president out on the street with a small security detail not be practical a marine division maybe i c m you wouldn't last five minutes the resistance if any
4:02 am
want to liberate the country they'll take any opportunity they care to get any official any level in any time not only other one hundred thousand u.s. troops but both thirty and forty thousand other troops here are well over one hundred thousand private security contractors you may never hear is discussed in the major media so combat forces may come out of private security forces may know when to take their place a miracle wages wars not just to win them but the wages of because the profits are so great the war profiteers one of these wars waged ten billion dollars we know of cold down a rathole every month decides the regular professor appropriations for the f.b.i. and for all of us defense operations this is money down already owing to the war profiteers analysts also say the violence in afghanistan is being pursued by local
4:03 am
security forces which contain drug addicts and those connected to the taliban spy this nato began handing control over a lot of the country's thirty four promises to the locals on sunday there is concern there to divide and untrained and ill equipped to fand off the insurgency by themselves jason might like reports from kabul. there's confusion on the faces of the afghan army soldiers as a firefight unfolds on the other side of the wall looking for them this is the kabul military training center and the board's paid fire blanks the men here halfway through a ten week program and the officers don't cut the many slack when it's over the be deployed in eastern congo or province one of afghanistan's most violent corners mark that we must push them hard so they can perform under pressure day by day we're making progress the afghan national army has already come a long way and squeaks have swollen to about one hundred seventy thousand troops thanks to fresh waves of recruits attract higher wages and extra perks the soldiers
4:04 am
insist they are all united in their desire to beat back until the bottom of the surge and see the city age or ethnicity then in your mind we are old brother and we are all calling my one. heart i am the call of duty is also struck a chord beyond able bodied males a first ever class of women soldiers has just graduated. and there's even the mujahideen unit made up of one of the better it's a soviet you this is all good news to u.s. military a place i've said the two thousand and fourteen got to hand over security responsibilities to the afghans the afghan army enjoys a much better reputation in the police force and has even been featured in recent moves. but is the army takes greater responsibility for security around the country there are concerns that the quantity of troops may be coming at the expense of quality i was started as more than eighty percent of troops are literally a big problem on our ability to really match and numbers can spell the difference between life and death adding to that was widespread drug use and desertion rates
4:05 am
today roughly one in four combat soldiers quit their post critics also point out that the military leadership is made up of many rival ex warlords who still command loyalty is a lot of regional their gluons could leave the country deeply. as the u.s. begins to scale back its role as custodian this summer there are concerns that these divisions may flare up if i start neutral. lift we will be out here late ninety's fighting each other really killing each other these few people waiting in groups or little groups to control it in yet another obstacle for a young army that still has much to do for constraints and chase him off guard in kabul for its own. and a few minutes on our athena green card immigrants who are now seeing red after winning american citizenship lottery they're now being told no answer to their lives tell you why. their resignations keep coming in the british newspaper phone hacking scandal now that you case most senior police officer has
4:06 am
quit sir paul stephenson was facing a growing backlash over hiring a former news of the world executive as an advisor and was later questioned about illicit phone tapping acts police commissioner also took a swipe at the prime minister saying his choice of advisor was a worst decision namely former editor andy coulson and a day of rapid developments from the back of who ran the paper was arrested as part of the u.s. to gauge she quit on friday as rupert murdoch's liberation is due to join him and his son james facing m.p.'s on tuesday over and ethical reporting methods and police bribery media analyst phil really says officers for information has been going on for years. this is a good example of what the police have been doing in the kind of murdoch years they've been using a receipt been leaking they're being paid for telling people when the celebrities are being arrested so actually manipulating the rest of people is actually
4:07 am
a practice it has become in trying to in my view as a result of the kind of bribery thing so this would hardly be out of practice but i don't think it's going to deflect opinion i mean there are so many m.p.'s now and indeed so much of the british establishment which for so long kowtow to murdoch is now prepared to get to the bottom of this and weed out those people who have been corrupted at different levels remember that four years ago right the police had these bags with i think it was a live one thousand letters about four thousand celebrities and victims of crime and all these other people they knew they were taking part investigation. these were just left there i mean it's amazing it's remarkable that it took four years for them to do anything about this meanwhile. senior police officers were wining and dining with members of the murdoch empire they were meeting them for drinks privately one even hired them at a thousand pounds a day to work for him so you know what does this tell us about the relationship between the police and the news corp employees well it's very very serious and if
4:08 am
this can happen at the top of the police look at the example that gives the officers down down the lines now you could well you know can any organization properly examine itself when so much is at stake but if that operation is seen to be corrupted as well i think we've got you know an even bigger problem i think so many people now are watching it including you know members of parliament select committees things that investigative bodies within the british political system they're all all eyes are on this let alone all the journalists who are looking at what's going on so i think that the ramifications of this is so big i mean you know britain is is shaking at this each day it's headline news and people are asking who's next the timing out back of groups arrest is raising a few eyebrows for a british intelligence officer an even chance as it's more than a coincidence. it's very unusual to have someone this close to the heart the heart of power in the u.k. being arrested but i suppose based on the prima factual evidence around this case
4:09 am
it would be unavoidable for the police not to arrest her and said that of course it is a very long journey from arrest to being charged to being put on trial and being convicted so i suppose i'd be more surprised if if she were charged if this does proceed towards a legal hearing i have to say that i think is the timing of this arrest is very interesting because it's highly highly unusual for someone to be a prearranged arrest to turn themselves into a police station and go through the rest recess on a sunday and of course is just two days before she was due to appear before a parliamentary committee so no way she's going to sort of get out of jail free card or can't possibly talk about this and is subject to legal proceedings so in a way i suppose one hundred slightly suspicious turn of mind one might think that the police by taking this step at this stage are allowing her little wriggle room i shouldn't have to say too much and perhaps it would have to say too much about her links with the police service in london as well so it's very very interesting timing. this is r t you live from moscow on the way the seventy year wait is nearly
4:10 am

4:11 am
a bad ground to the tragedy so keep up to date there and there's also our you tube channel for all our video reports of a salvage mission russia's northern caucasus has been shaken by two deadly blast four policemen were killed and ten other people wounded in the slogans artist. who's in the region can tell us more. with us so what we know about these attacks well to the last twenty four hours have seen two dadley blasts head to russia's north caucasus now the first one happened in two policemen were killed and seven others injured when an explosion heeds a search operation in the mountainous area now the second one show the republic of dagestan late at night it was a roadside bomb to produce men dads and three hours in three august ones it's now the bomb detonated when the patrol car was driving through the city of cars which

4:13 am
regions where gangs mostly actual plebes operatives in the ball carrier republic and the republic. so as the search operations and raise continue in this region and just on sunday two militants were killed two terrorists were killed in a change now so this shows that this number of terrorist attacks declined in this region still the fragile remains and such operations continue. amadou thanks very much indeed for bringing us the subject from the north caucasus region caution over there. to other news now one of the last remaining nazi war crimes suspects will soon learn his fate in a court. of heroes charged with the massacre of killing civilian hostages in serbia he was discovered living in budapest of two thousand and six and is one of the few left to stand trial for holocaust crimes. reports from hungary. it's been described as the world's most wanted nazi he's done sickies to the participation in

the same offense twice the prosecution say but doesn't this is the previous acquittal with political considerations and no evidence now just a few months ago in may we saw the trial event diminutive come to an end he was sentenced to five years and the prosecution in this case is circulating pushing for that prison sentence that's certainly going to be the verdict that they're hoping for today. so first reporting there and also take a look at some other stories from around the world libyan rebels are carrying out an assault on government forces in the eastern town of bragg home to one of the country's biggest oil facilities there was also been targeting pro get off the forces in the area with days of intense bombardment the alliance is trying to muster support for the rebels who have suffered heavy losses in recent days that often made another defined speech at the weekend deny rumors he was leaving libya as he struggles to quell

obvious health issues could seriously affect the political situation in the country . the problem here being that he's regina counseled a lot of internal and external opposition adversaries notably and supported politically economically and eventually the military baby that states of america and the united states is clearly bent on making its rejean change policies which we are seeing now in north africa and in the middle east bring them over to latin america so from the i'm speaking from one of the areas in argentina i'm particularly concerned that hugo chavez's health problems will debilitate will weaken the present government in israel and that can be seen as an opportunity by the united states or rather by the global power elite that operates from the united states to promote routine change in venezuela and if it starts in venezuela it will no doubt spread to other countries notably it will go bolivia and perhaps even
